Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
4. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
5. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters.
B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure.
D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
6. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence.
7. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述少女阿玛拉在拉各斯将垃圾场改造成公园,以此唤醒民众气候保护意识并带动更多公益行动。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play.(这样的场景在拉各斯很少见,它是非洲发展最快的城市之一,人口约1700万。但在城市郊区,一个由垃圾场改造的公园正在为孩子们提供玩耍的空间)”可知,拉各斯面临的问题是公共活动区域不足。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s ‘climate apathy’: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.(但后来,她意识到这就是所谓的尼日利亚的‘气候冷漠’:人们倾向于将洪水、热浪和干旱视为孤立事件,而非地球变暖带来的后果)”以及第三段“I wanted to change the mindset. If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it.(我想要改变这种心态。如果人们感受不到与自然的联系,就不会主动去保护自然)”可知,人们对气候变化的漠视态度,让阿玛拉下定决心修建公园唤醒大家。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities.(阿玛拉最初联系了拉各斯州政府,政府提供了土地但施加了限制条件,导致长期施工无法开展。历经数月碰壁后,她转变策略,开始寻找高危社区周边的备选场地)”可知,遇到阻碍后她及时调整办法,体现出灵活变通的品质。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.(我付诸行动,其他人看到后,也想要行动。众人同心,力量就会不断壮大)”可知,阿玛拉想表达微小行动积累起来就能产生巨大影响。
C
We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence, often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts. However, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences. Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism (新陈代谢) and lifestyle.
For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles.
Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says Dr. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. However, even BRI has limitations — it can’t distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size, such as digestive disorders.
Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights. “Instead of focusing on a’magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. For those with weight-related conditions, even 5-10% weight loss can significantly improve health. A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss.
The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits. “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. For some, medications or surgery may help, but the real goal is lifestyle change — not to achieve an ideal number on your scale. True health,after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life.
8. Why does the author mention 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents?
A. To show BMI’s limitations. B. To prove BMI’s popularity.
C. To describe BMI’s main users. D. To introduce BMI’s target group.
9. What is the main advantage of BRI?
A. It clarifies different kinds of fat. B. It evaluates all types of body fat.
C. It measures highly risky body fat. D. It identifies harmful chemicals in fat.
10. What is Dr. Jay’s suggestion for weight assessment?
A. Stopping using BMI. B. Focusing on specific weights.
C. Considering multiple health signs. D. Adopting rapid weight loss approaches.
11. What does the author think of people’s pursuing an ideal weight number?
A. Reasonable. B. Unhelpful. C. Dangerous. D. Practical.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出人们常用童年记忆、BMI 等方式追求理想体重,但这些方法忽视个体差异;分析 BMI(未考虑年龄、肌肉量等)和 BRI(未区分脂肪类型)的局限性,强调医生应关注整体健康指标(血压、胆固醇等),并指出健康体重源于可持续生活习惯,而非数字。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight.( 然而,纽约大学的梅勒妮·杰伊(Melanie Jay)博士指出了它的问题:BMI给出的范围与20岁的运动员和70岁的祖父母相同。它忽略了肌肉量、骨密度和健康状况,有时将健康的人视为超重。)”可知,提及“20 岁运动员与 70 岁祖父母”是为了举例说明 BMI 的局限性 —— 对不同年龄、身体状况的人使用相同标准。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says Dr. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease.( 像身体圆度指数(BRI)这样的新指标关注的是腰围而不是体重。“腹部脂肪比整体体重更危险,”杰伊博士说。研究表明,器官周围的脂肪会产生与糖尿病和心脏病有关的有害化学物质。)”可知,BRI 的优势是“关注腰围(即内脏脂肪),而内脏脂肪比整体体重更危险”,即测量高风险脂肪。故选 C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““Instead of focusing on a’magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay.( 杰伊博士指出:“我们不是把注意力集中在一个‘神奇的数字’上,而是检查血压、胆固醇、睡眠质量和能量水平。”)”可知,杰伊博士建议“关注血压、胆固醇等多种健康指标,而非单一体重数字”。故选 C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences.( 然而,Yoni Freedhoff博士警告说,这些方法没有考虑到个体差异。)”、第二段中“It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles.( 它忽略了肌肉量、骨密度和健康状况,有时将健康的人视为超重。最近的研究表明,近30%被BMI分类为超重的人实际上有健康的体脂百分比和正常的代谢谱。)”及最后一段中“The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits.( 专家们一致认为,最健康的体重不是在图表上找到的,而是通过可持续的习惯找到的。)”可知,作者认为“追求理想体重数字”的方法存在缺陷,且健康体重源于习惯而非数字,故该行为“无帮助”。故选B。
D
At a summit in Paris in February, 2025, tech bosses issued the grandest claims about artificial intelligence. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said it would lead to the “largest change to the global labor market in human history”. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVidia, envisioned a future where workers “are all going to be CEOs of AI agents”.
Such predictions draw on an established thought. As large language models gained popularity in the early 2020s, economists and bosses were hopeful that AI would help promote equality, benefiting lower-skilled workers most.
Despite such optimism about AI as an equalizer in labor market, more recent findings have cast doubt on this vision. They instead suggest a future where high-flyers fly still higher, and the rest are left behind. Rather than narrowing gaps, AI is likely to widen workforce divides in the long term. For example, for air-traffic controllers, AI processes flight data while leaving decisions to humans, thus keeping salaries high. By contrast, self-check-out systems simplify cashiers’ (收银员) roles, automating tasks like calculating change, which lowers the skill requirements, causing wages to decline.
Apart from its replacement of routine jobs, AI may extend its reach to creative work. At A&O Shearman, a law firm, AI can analyze contracts and suggest revisions within 30 seconds, handling much of the work once done by associate lawyers. In contrast, top performers have been best at using technology to make strategic decisions. Therefore, it is junior staff who are the most at risk.
Labor markets have always been defined by the destruction of old roles and the creation of new ones. In the Industrial Revolution, engineers mastering machinery saw their wages skyrocket while laborers lost out. The Computer Age then rewarded software engineers and outdated typists. AI appears to follow a similar path, benefiting those with judgment and expertise to handle complex, information-rich environments.
Today’s AI are just the beginning. As it grows more complicated, workplaces might be transformed, making every worker a CEO of sorts, as Jensen Huang has predicted. But there will be no equalizing: the most talented will still make the best CEOs.
12. What is the tech bosses’ attitude towards the future of AI?
A. Doubtful. B. Ambitious.
C. Pessimistic. D. Unconcerned.
13. What can we infer about the long-term impact of AI?
A. AI will slow the global economic growth.
B. AI will narrow the gap of wage inequality.
C. AI will disadvantage lower-skilled workers.
D. AI will enhance creative work opportunities.
14. Why does the author mention labor market changes in paragraph 5?
A. To recommend stable jobs. B. To stress advanced technology.
C. To picture an uncertain future. D. To illustrate an irresistible trend.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. What Defines the Future Labor Markets
B. When AI Surpasses Human Intelligence
C. How AI will Divide the Best from the Rest
D. Where Humans Still Have an Edge over AI
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨AI对劳动力市场的分化效应,科技领袖虽乐观预测AI变革,但实际趋势显示高技能者将更受益,而低技能岗位面临薪资下降或替代风险,延续了历史上技术加剧不平等的趋势。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At a summit in Paris in February, 2025, tech bosses issued the grandest claims about artificial intelligence. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said it would lead to the “largest change to the global labor market in human history”. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVidia, envisioned a future where workers “are all going to be CEOs of AI agents”. (在2025年2月巴黎举行的一场峰会上,科技巨头们对人工智能做出了最宏大的预言。Anthropic公司首席执行官Dario Amodei宣称,AI将引发“人类历史上全球劳动力市场的最大变革”。英伟达首席执行官Jensen Huang则描绘了这样一幅未来图景:所有劳动者“都将成为AI智能体的首席执行官”)”可知,科技巨头们如Anthropic和英伟达的首席执行官对AI的未来充满宏大的设想。由此可知,他们的态度是雄心勃勃的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“By contrast, self-check-out systems simplify cashiers’ (收银员) roles, automating tasks like calculating change, which lowers the skill requirements, causing wages to decline. (相比之下,自助结账系统简化了收银员的工作内容——系统可自动完成找零计算等操作,从而降低了岗位技能要求,最终导致薪资水平下降)”和第四段中“At A&O Shearman, a law firm, AI can analyze contracts and suggest revisions within 30 seconds, handling much of the work once done by associate lawyers. In contrast, top performers have been best at using technology to make strategic decisions. Therefore, it is junior staff who are the most at risk. (在A&O Shearman,人工智能能够在30秒内分析合同并提出修改建议,承担了大量原本由初级律师完成的工作。相比之下,顶尖从业者最擅长利用技术进行战略决策。正因如此,初级员工面临的职业风险最为严峻)”可知,由于AI的存在,收银员等低技能岗位薪资下降,初级律师等低经验岗位面临被替代的风险。由此可知,从长远来看,人工智能将使低技能工人处于不利地位。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In the Industrial Revolution, engineers mastering machinery saw their wages skyrocket while laborers lost out. The Computer Age then rewarded software engineers and outdated typists. AI appears to follow a similar path, benefiting those with judgment and expertise to handle complex, information-rich environments. (工业革命时期,掌握机械技术的工程师薪酬暴涨,而体力劳动者则遭受冲击;计算机时代又让软件工程师获得回报,打字员等职业则被淘汰。人工智能似乎延续着相似的轨迹——那些具备复杂信息处理能力和专业判断力的人才将持续受益)”可知,该段回顾工业革命和计算机时代的技术变革,说明劳动力市场始终因技术革新而重塑。作者以此论证AI的影响是不可阻挡的趋势。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中“Despite such optimism about AI as an equalizer in labor market, more recent findings have cast doubt on this vision. They instead suggest a future where high-flyers fly still higher, and the rest are left behind. (尽管人们对AI作为劳动力市场均衡器持乐观态度,但最新研究发现这一愿景值得怀疑。研究反而指出,未来可能出现强者愈强、弱者愈弱的局面)”可知,文章的核心观点是:AI不会均衡劳动力市场,而是加剧人才分化,使高技能者获益、低技能者受损。因此,C项“人工智能如何加剧精英与大众的鸿沟”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Ice sheets float on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, sharp and restless. In the distance, mountains glow (发光) under the moonlight. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ___16___ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ___17___ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those restricted by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often sets in place.
___18___ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This distinction is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. ___19___ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ___20___
A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
C. My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day.
D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
F. It demands choices, adaptation, and constant awareness of the unexpected.
G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. B 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过作者的虚拟现实体验引入,探讨了虚拟旅行与现实旅行的区别,指出虚拟现实无法替代真实旅行所带来的感官体验和情感联结。

(这就是虚拟现实(VR)的愿景:一个无需离家便能抵达的世界。)”是对前文的概括总结,A选项“我没有移动,却正在旅行”概括了前文的虚拟旅行体验,又引出后文要讨论的核心内容,承接上文并点明主题。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据前文“There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. (这种旅行方式有很多值得欣赏的地方。)”可知,接下来应说明虚拟旅行的优点。D选项“虚拟旅行方便、省时且易于实现。”具体阐述了虚拟旅行的优势,与上文形成顺承关系。故选D。
【18题详解】
空处为本段第一句,应起总起作用。后文“Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. (旅行者漫步在陌生的街道上,品尝当地美食,与来自不同传统背景的人面对面交流。这些体验唤醒感官,创造持久的记忆。更重要的是,它们改变了我们对一个地方的情感认知,而不仅仅是理性理解。)”描述了真实旅行的独特体验和深刻影响,B选项“然而真实的旅行留下更深的印记。”引出对真实旅行的进一步阐述。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. (相比之下,真实旅行充满不可预测性。)”可知,本空应进一步说明这种不可预测性带来的影响。F选项“它要求人们做出选择、不断适应,并时刻留意突发情况。”具体解释了真实旅行中不可预测性所带来的挑战与体验,与前文形成解释关系。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. (旅行不仅仅是看得更远,更是感受你所在的地方。)”强调真实旅行中的情感体验与身体在场的重要性,E选项“有些知识似乎只有当你脚踏实地时才能获得。”是前文内容的升华,点明真实旅行不可替代的价值。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些圆形或方形的糕点是中秋节不可或缺的一部分,它们象征着家庭团聚以及对满月的欣赏。句子已有谓语动词mark,且空处无连词连接,serve与pastries为主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语。故填serving。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:从历史上看,在元朝时期(1271 - 1368 年),月饼被用于藏匿秘密信息,成为一种用于传递信息的手段。修饰后文句子用副词historically,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Historically。

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:如今,月饼的圆形外形恰似满月,人们会将其作为礼物相互赠予,以庆祝团圆与和谐。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为mooncakes,与从句中的round shape构成所属关系,应用关系代词whose在从句作定语,故用whose。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,月饼的圆形外形恰似满月,人们会将其作为礼物相互赠予,以庆祝团圆与和谐。此处celebrate作目的状语,说明互赠月饼的目的,用不定式。故填to celebrate。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:人们对月饼的偏好差异很大,这反映了地域口味和现代创新。空处作句子主语,应用名词形式preference,为可数名词,根据后文谓语vary为原形,可知主语为复数,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Preferences。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:最近推出了多种口味的产品,如巧克力味和抹茶味,以满足不断变化的消费者口味需求。主语A variety of flavors与introduce构成被动关系,结合recently可知为现在完成时的被动语态,主语为复数,助动词用have。故填have been introduced。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:外皮的种类也有所不同,广式月饼的外皮薄而柔软,而苏式月饼的外皮则具有酥脆、层次分明的特点。此处为“with +宾语+宾补”结构作伴随状语,补充说明外皮的不同种类。故填with。
【44题详解】

【答案】范文
Dine Alone or Together?
In our school canteen, some students eat alone while others prefer sharing a table with friends. Personally, I usually choose the latter.
After a stressful morning full of classes and quizzes, I once entered the canteen exhausted. However, I left smiling after chatting with my friends over lunch. We talked about our daily school life and funny little stories. Such moments remind me that shared meals offer more than food — they bring relaxation and warm connection.
Still, dining alone can be equally refreshing when some quiet time is needed. To me, neither choice is necessarily better; the best one is simply what we need at that moment.

Every Thursday afternoon, our school library opened an hour earlier for students who wanted a quiet place to study. It was peaceful there, filled with the smell of old books and sunlight falling through tall windows.
Mrs. Harper, the librarian, knew me well. She was a small woman with silver hair and gentle eyes. Every Thursday, she placed a cup of warm lemon tea on the corner of her desk. “For long study hours,” she would say with a smile. I never forgot the kindness.
One rainy afternoon, I arrived earlier than usual and noticed Mrs. Harper struggling to push a heavy cart (手推车) of returned books across the carpet. I hurried over to help. As we worked together, I noticed that she stopped several times to press a hand against her side. She looked pale. “Are you okay?” I asked. “Just tired,” she answered softly. “Getting older is inconvenient sometimes.”
After that day, I began helping her every Thursday. She always thanked me with the same warm smile and a cup of lemon tea.
One Thursday near the end of the term, I entered the library and found it unusually dark and quiet. The front desk was empty. No tea. No Mrs. Harper. Then I spotted the book cart standing alone near the history shelves. On top of it lay her glasses and a small notebook.
I picked up the notebook carefully. Inside was a handwritten list titled “Things to Finish Before Summer.” Most items had already been crossed out. Only one line remained: “Repair the Reading Corner before students return.” I looked toward the old reading corner by the windows. One chair had a broken leg, the paint on the shelf was chipping, and several cushions (垫子) were torn open. Mrs. Harper had always wanted students to enjoy that little space.
Just then, the principal walked into the library. “She was taken to hospital this morning,” he said quietly. I looked again at the unfinished list in my hands. Outside, rain tapped softly against the windows, making the whole library feel lonelier than before.

【答案】例文
That evening, I sent a message to our class group chat. “Mrs. Harper has been hospitalized,” I typed, my fingers trembling slightly. “For months, she has brightened our Thursdays with her homemade lemon tea and unwavering kindness. Now, it is high time we repaid her generosity.” I then shared her unfinished mission: repairing the Reading Corner. To my astonishment, an overwhelming wave of support flooded in. Classmates volunteered to bring toolkits, sew the torn cushions, and repaint the shabby shelf. By midnight, a dozen of us had formed a repair team, driven by a shared determination to transform her handwritten wish into reality. No administrative order was issued; we were simply responding to the warmth she had sown in our hearts.
The following Thursday, the library doors finally opened again. What greeted Mrs. Harper was nothing short of a miracle. The once-broken chair stood firm, its leg reinforced; the shelf gleamed with fresh paint; and the cushions, meticulously stitched, lay invitingly by the window where sunlight poured in. A hand-painted sign read: “Mrs. Harper’s Corner — Where Kindness Finds a Home.” As she stepped inside, leaning on a cane, her eyes welled up with tears. I handed her a steaming cup of lemon tea and whispered, “For the long hours of reading ahead.” She clutched the cup, her smile radiating a quiet joy. In that moment, I realized that true education extends far beyond textbooks — it flourishes in the small, selfless acts of gratitude that bind a community together.

Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
4. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
5. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters.
B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure.
D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
6. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence.
7. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.
C
We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence, often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts. However, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences. Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism (新陈代谢) and lifestyle.
For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles.
Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI) focus on waist size instead of weight. “Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,” says Dr. Jay. Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease. However, even BRI has limitations — it can’t distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size, such as digestive disorders.
Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights. “Instead of focusing on a’magic number,’ we examine blood pressure, cholesterol (胆固醇), sleep quality and energy levels,” notes Dr. Jay. For those with weight-related conditions, even 5-10% weight loss can significantly improve health. A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss.
The healthiest weight, experts agree, isn’t found on charts but through sustainable habits. “When you eat nutritiously and stay active, your body finds its natural healthy weight,” advises Dr. Freedhoff. For some, medications or surgery may help, but the real goal is lifestyle change — not to achieve an ideal number on your scale. True health,after all, is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale, but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life.
8. Why does the author mention 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents?
A. To show BMI’s limitations. B. To prove BMI’s popularity.
C. To describe BMI’s main users. D. To introduce BMI’s target group.
9. What is the main advantage of BRI?
A. It clarifies different kinds of fat. B. It evaluates all types of body fat.
C. It measures highly risky body fat. D. It identifies harmful chemicals in fat.
10. What is Dr. Jay’s suggestion for weight assessment?
A. Stopping using BMI. B. Focusing on specific weights.
C. Considering multiple health signs. D. Adopting rapid weight loss approaches.
11. What does the author think of people’s pursuing an ideal weight number?
A. Reasonable. B. Unhelpful. C. Dangerous. D. Practical.

At a summit in Paris in February, 2025, tech bosses issued the grandest claims about artificial intelligence. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said it would lead to the “largest change to the global labor market in human history”. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVidia, envisioned a future where workers “are all going to be CEOs of AI agents”.
Such predictions draw on an established thought. As large language models gained popularity in the early 2020s, economists and bosses were hopeful that AI would help promote equality, benefiting lower-skilled workers most.
Despite such optimism about AI as an equalizer in labor market, more recent findings have cast doubt on this vision. They instead suggest a future where high-flyers fly still higher, and the rest are left behind. Rather than narrowing gaps, AI is likely to widen workforce divides in the long term. For example, for air-traffic controllers, AI processes flight data while leaving decisions to humans, thus keeping salaries high. By contrast, self-check-out systems simplify cashiers’ (收银员) roles, automating tasks like calculating change, which lowers the skill requirements, causing wages to decline.
Apart from its replacement of routine jobs, AI may extend its reach to creative work. At A&O Shearman, a law firm, AI can analyze contracts and suggest revisions within 30 seconds, handling much of the work once done by associate lawyers. In contrast, top performers have been best at using technology to make strategic decisions. Therefore, it is junior staff who are the most at risk.
Labor markets have always been defined by the destruction of old roles and the creation of new ones. In the Industrial Revolution, engineers mastering machinery saw their wages skyrocket while laborers lost out. The Computer Age then rewarded software engineers and outdated typists. AI appears to follow a similar path, benefiting those with judgment and expertise to handle complex, information-rich environments.
Today’s AI are just the beginning. As it grows more complicated, workplaces might be transformed, making every worker a CEO of sorts, as Jensen Huang has predicted. But there will be no equalizing: the most talented will still make the best CEOs.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Ice sheets float on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, sharp and restless. In the distance, mountains glow (发光) under the moonlight. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ___16___ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ___17___ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those restricted by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often sets in place.
___18___ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This distinction is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. ___19___ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ___20___
A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
C. My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day.
D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
F. It demands choices, adaptation, and constant awareness of the unexpected.
G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world.

Every Thursday afternoon, our school library opened an hour earlier for students who wanted a quiet place to study. It was peaceful there, filled with the smell of old books and sunlight falling through tall windows.
Mrs. Harper, the librarian, knew me well. She was a small woman with silver hair and gentle eyes. Every Thursday, she placed a cup of warm lemon tea on the corner of her desk. “For long study hours,” she would say with a smile. I never forgot the kindness.
One rainy afternoon, I arrived earlier than usual and noticed Mrs. Harper struggling to push a heavy cart (手推车) of returned books across the carpet. I hurried over to help. As we worked together, I noticed that she stopped several times to press a hand against her side. She looked pale. “Are you okay?” I asked. “Just tired,” she answered softly. “Getting older is inconvenient sometimes.”
After that day, I began helping her every Thursday. She always thanked me with the same warm smile and a cup of lemon tea.
One Thursday near the end of the term, I entered the library and found it unusually dark and quiet. The front desk was empty. No tea. No Mrs. Harper. Then I spotted the book cart standing alone near the history shelves. On top of it lay her glasses and a small notebook.
I picked up the notebook carefully. Inside was a handwritten list titled “Things to Finish Before Summer.” Most items had already been crossed out. Only one line remained: “Repair the Reading Corner before students return.” I looked toward the old reading corner by the windows. One chair had a broken leg, the paint on the shelf was chipping, and several cushions (垫子) were torn open. Mrs. Harper had always wanted students to enjoy that little space.
Just then, the principal walked into the library. “She was taken to hospital this morning,” he said quietly. I looked again at the unfinished list in my hands. Outside, rain tapped softly against the windows, making the whole library feel lonelier than before.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

That evening, I sent a message to our class group chat.
